Same as Sophie Germain primes p such that 4*p^2 - 2*p + 1 is also prime (because (2*p)^3 + 1 = (2*p + 1)(4*p^2 - 2*p + 1)).
Primes in A237037.
For n>1, 8*a(n)^3 is a solution for the equation phi(x+1) - phi(x) = x/2. - Farideh Firoozbakht, Dec 17 2014

FORMULA
a(n) = (1/2)*(A237039(n)-1)^(1/3).
EXAMPLE
11 is prime and (2*11)^3 + 1 = 10649 = 23*463 is a semiprime, so 11 is a member.
